I just started watching Bridgeton s3 and I'm basically just going to keep all my thoughts in one. So without further ado, here is my reaction to everything in part one

COLIN WTF YOU LOOK LIKE A ASEXY PIRATE AND THEN SUDDENLY YOURE LIKE THROWING WINKS AROUND AND SHIT. YOU AIN'T SHIT MOFO GOD I better see him grovel

I don't mean to sound superficial, but Bridgeton proves that everyone is actually beautiful you just need to know how to put yourself together

Yall can tell me all you want that Colin wasn't attracted to pen before, but he was, if not her appearance then her mind, and he saw her beauty within, and now seeing what he always saw on display on the outside is going to kill him

Anthony and Kate are just dazzling this season. Oh my god how are they so hot, so passionate

This is not how you win our favour, I do not want to see this man whoring around in a threesome. Pen doesn't deserve a man whore 🥲

Actually maybe that's just the gay in my that I don't like seeing that I guess...

Colin is a braver man than I, if pen asked me to kiss her, she wouldn't even have to to explain why, I'd be like yep that's all the I need before I had her

Penelope "I don't know how to flirt" featherington you absolute liar. GIVING HIM THE MOST PERFECT KISS AND THEN LEAVING WITHOUT YEARINF now he's the one that's like whoah hold up GIRL UOU ARE A MASTER FLIRT

OH HAHA I THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO BE PENS DREAM!!!! IT'S FUCKING COLIN HAHAHAHAHAH

I am loving how Colin has gone from cocky bastard to basically same level as awkward as pen

Oh dear God YESSSSSS HIM LUSTING OVER HER IS WHAT I NEEDED AANHHHHG

The most painful thing so far has been seeing pen and cressida fight over a man

GET IT MAMA BRIDGETON (if they turn out to be siblings I'm going back to church)

BROTHER HAHAHA OKAY GOOD NOW GET IT MAMA

WHAT IS THIS SILENT RIZZ, how come when I stand next to someone in silence it's creeping

Ngl lady tilly could use brute force strength on me 👉👈

I genuinely cannot tell from violets reaction if she's OK with the idea of Colin and pen

*Colin looks at pen with lust* pen: Are you sick??? Wtf boy??

I WAS SCREAMING COLIN WTF WERE YOU THINKING??? OF JUST TAKING HER THERE ON THE BALLROOM

"you can read from all the way back there"

OH STFU WITH WITH SILE T RIZZ

Lord deblimg is playing pen in all the right ways,

NO GODDAMIT COLIN STOP FUCKING OTHER. WOMAN YOURE MAKING IT SO HARD TO LIKE YOU

Oh bohoo Colin cry about being a whore

Look I know eloise has her own love book, and I know who her future husband is but I don't like it. So please can eloise and cressida just be lesbians

The way I can only watch 4 eps is an absolute crime.

For god sake penelope are you going to marry me or not

HOLLERIMG HE'S SO UNROMANTIC

Ok but rewatching s2 just makes it more obvious kate & anthony’s motivations at the end of episode 5 make zero sense.

the show tries to pass it off as kate and anthony sacrificing their happiness to make edwina happy but that just doesn’t work. for starters anthony really didn’t give a shit about edwina’s feelings much less her happiness. and anthony’s honour was non-existent especially at that point. so that reason was irrelevant

kate insisting they get married did not make sense for her character. i know we are meant to believe its bc edwina says she loves anthony- but she wasn’t privy to the convo where anthony basically promises kate he will cheat on edwina with her. not to mention kate is already trying to save the engagement before that. and I love show!kate but she was definitely willing to make decisions for edwina bc she believed it wld protect her, despite whatever edwina wanted. kate wants a love match & happiness for edwina. and when anthony finally admits he cannot give that to her (like kate had been saying), she tries to change his mind?? she is smart enough to know that edwina marrying a man who wants to screw her sister will end in disaster. even if kate believes it is just lust she has no reason to believe that anthony wouldn’t then cheat with someone else. like idc if they end up cheating but show!kate is not naive enough to believe that A and E would hv a pleasant marriage.

anthony’s entire characterisation made no sense either. he sits silently while the Queen and everyone calls it a love match. and at the end of the episode anthony finally acknowledges he wont make edwina happy or love her. so him deciding to marry her anyways bc its what kate asks him to do is a bit hard to believe. he knows he cannot provide edwina the happiness that kate wants for her. he is meant to love kate. surely he realises that making kate watch as he married her sister, had children with her - would torture her more than breaking off the engagement wld. like anthony should have been willing ‘lose’ his non-existent honour and take society’s gossiping to spare kate all of that. at this point it’s pretty clear that nobody will be happy in this situation. all three of them would hv grown bitter and resentful of each other and the situation. anthony & edwina would have grown to hate each other. and the entire fall-out is so weird bc the show doesn’t bother to acknowledge that most of this was anthony’s fault?? like fine edwina doesn’t care abt anymore (lol you can be mad at more than one person). but kate never asks anthony why he proposed to edwina despite claiming to love her??

the whole bangle drop moment was entertaining. but the entire build up to the wedding just made the characters look like idiots (and not the fun kind). the show had to give lady danbury a different personality to s1 and even ep 1 for the wedding to happen. and i’m still confused on how much violet, benedict and colin knew or didnt know abt anthony’s feelings. it’s very clear that the writers wanted the drama of the wedding + forbidden love & to do that had to sacrifice character development and good storytelling.

the engagement shld have ended after the dowry reveal and the sharma’s conflict shld have been abt that. edwina deserved the truth & be able to make her own decisions. and kate should not hv even been responsible for these financial decisions as she is not the parent. that way the show could hv actually shown Mary parent her children & hv the Sharma sisters talk rather than all of them giving grand speeches to each other. and kate and anthony could hv had time to develop an actual emotional connection (rather than angst) as well.

#idk I just don’t see it as this grand sacrifice out of love #it was dumb and bad writing #and episode 5 & 6 were actually seriously boring #like it was a bit funny #but I really stopped caring abt these characters #there was zero development or actual arc or even emotional connection #the worst part of the season is that no body ever even got to tell Anthony he didn’t have any honour #he would never recover from that #bridgerton #anthony sharma #kate sharma

Naur i really thought violet would be involved other than snide commentary but alas i am disappointed yet again

Idk if it was snide per se but her motivations this season really confused me!! At first she was like ‘maybe I can change Anthony’s mind’ abt the whole not looking for love thing. And like shared all those smiles with Lady D in episode 3 etc, looked happy about the courtship with Edwina.

But then she changed her mind and was always asking Anthony if he was sure he wanted to marry Edwina? Or telling him there were ways to get out of it? But really didn’t do anything beyond that at all. Didn’t discuss with Lady D or anything?

And she was clearly noticing Kathony stuff as early as episode 2 but needed Daphne’s confirmation to figure it out. And then once it was confirmed was like,,,well we can’t have scandal so you gotta marry someone else Anthony??!?!

Like. I’m not expecting her to say ‘run off be with kate right now,’ but asking him if he was going to REMARRY SOMEONE ELSE THAT SEASON???!?? Marry not for love because he’s clearly not in a place where he can do it??!!?

I’ve discussed this matter with @grantairesbottle and it’s clear violet knew he didn’t love Edwina but didn’t know he loved Kate. Or else why would she suggest that in ep 7?

She must have thought it was just lust again or using Kate as an escape like he did with the mistresses.

But then she flipped on a dime after Kate woke up with no explanation. Like what made her realize it was love with them? I assume it was him breaking down in that moment, but it was written very unclearly.

This is not violet slander it’s just a little shade. It’s clear she doesn’t know her son, who she has been running her family with for ten years, at all. He has kept a lot from her so I can’t entirely blame her, but she’s unobservant, unaware of herself and doesn’t have a clear set of priorities.

#Violet bridgerton #just some thoughts #I don’t want slander I just don’t think we should be girlbossing her #we love flawed mother figures in media bc they’re realistic

I wish the engagement had ended in ep 5 as well. They could’ve kept all the scandal and interpersonal drama basically the same.

However, I don’t know how it could play out differently for Edwina to suss out Anthony/Kate. Her obliviousness was past the point of believability to me, so short of Kate and/or Anthony coming clean I don’t think Edwina could’ve realized on her own to then end the engagement. What’s an equivalent of the altar bangle drop? Daphne, Lady Danbury, and Violet all caught on to varying degrees before the wedding. While most of the Anthony/Kate interaction was in private, the fact that Edwina didn’t catch on to her own sister’s feelings/behavior (however discreet/private Kate was) and her own fiancé’s was kind of ridiculous. So I don’t see how the engagement ends without it being Anthony to call it off because Edwina was not perceptive about anything until the literal eleventh hour.

True. I guess Edwina would have to walk in on Kate and Anthony breathing heavily on each other's faces for her to realize, or Kate/Anthony could fess up, and the inevitable chewing out would occur.

That being said, I disagree- it's not ridiculous Edwina that didn't catch on, particularly since there were no overt signs of them violently lusting liking each other when they were around her. To put the onus on her to "figure it out" is incorrect, particularly since this is her sister we're talking about, someone Edwina trusted implicitly and probably could never imagine conducting an emotional affair with her fiance behind her back. I mean really, how was she supposed to "perceive" it when Kate was like "no I HATE him" until they were engaged? I don't know if y'all have sisters, but I'm more willing to take my sister's word for it and trust her implicitly rather than magically "perceive" an attraction Kate/Anthony purposefully hid, suppressed, and barely recognized the depths of themselves.

Trying to decide if the stills of the Sharma’s all in purple dresses that seem to match what Kate’s wearing in the sexy clip from the trailer is theit wedding or just an engagement ball for Kate and Anthony. Because the two families seem way too close for it to be anything more casual and I don’t think everyone would be that happy if it was a party for Anthony and Edwina? Kind of hope it’s an engagement ball and they’re getting it on a bit before the wedding.

Yeah, the closeness of the families (Violet being all tight with Mary and Edwina) seems to be too much for people who aren't in laws or about to be in laws. I'm not sure if we got an episode number for the still with the women in purple; I could've sworn it was kind of an early ep, but maybe not?

But yeah, at a glance the dress she's wearing in that still seems to be similar to the dress she's stripping out of... and so do the gloves. I do think that stripping clip is probably after the wedding, as he's wearing a flower at his lapel, which seems to be a wedding thing. But it would be truly WILD to me if they released stills of Kate in her wedding dress in advance, even if it isn't an obvious wedding dress; plus, it would honestly be weird for me if Mary and Edwina dressed in like... matching tones lol. I know this isn't a modern wedding, but damn, you don't dress even in the same color family as the bride (in western weddings, at least--idk if that's a nod or not, as they seem to be giving a lot of "nods" to India in the clothing this season.... or trying to).

I would love it if they fuck around a bit before the wedding. Let them have fun! Anthony and Kate did (mildly) fool around a bit before the wedding in the book.

What I'm pretty sure of based off that trailer is this:

--Edwina will get married at the end of the season. Kate looked way too happy in the haldi scene with her, and additionally her hair is down.... which imo, is probably more of a married and well-fucked Kate thing. We've barely seen any stills or clips of Kate with her hair down (outside of nightgown or "riding across the glen like Merida" moments) and I think that's because a lot of them happen after she's married/in love/has gotten some good head.

--Speaking of, the moment when Kate and Anthony are together in the ballroom, marigolds strewn about? Probably Edwina's wedding, or engagement party, or an extended haldi ceremony. Kate's dress is that same color. Her hair is down. She's wearing a tiara.... which she does in other scenes, but not with her hair down. It's the viscountess look. Also, they're holding hands offscreen. There's no way they'd hold hands in public, outside of a dance, if they weren't married. I suppose it's possible that it's Kate's own haldi ceremony, but idk that they'd show that twice--imo, she gets married too quickly for one. I'm getting strong "putting on a brave face in the midst of marital woes"/finally coming together after marital woes vibes from that bit.

--I didn't think they'd have the balls to do it, but they might just be keeping that bee sting based off the moment in the trailer where Kate has a mark on her collarbone. What else could that be from? Why would they have the bee sting if it wasn't the (ultimate) reason they got married? And the moment *fits*. Edwina is all "he's not so bad" and Kate is all "I SAW HIM KICK MY DOG EDWINA, HE IS BASICALLY A DOG MURDERER, actually I made that up and I *do* want to fuck him but that's irrelevant". It feels like Edwina is talking Kate down post-bee pre-wedding. It might even be that big moment where Edwina and Kate get a little real.

--Sorry to that man (people who want Kate and Anthony to do nothing wrong ever) but illicitaffairs.mp3 is happening. They're longing and lusting and shit welllll before he and Edwina officially shut down the possibility of an engagement. That doesn't mean Edwina is *in love* with him (maybe infatuated) but they're going for LE SCANDALE with this. And good! Glad. Let's do it.

Hello! I have a Widowmauk prompt.

Spoilers for ep 130

Caleb tries to talk to Lucien the same way Beau did. Instead he gets both Lucien and Molly(Who's been inside Lucy's head the whole time.) Have fun.💜

Caleb didn’t know what he expected. He wanted to know what Lucien did and what the eyes did. Beau had a conversation with Lucien, and He only managed to piss her off. He missed that in the group.

He also missed that voice. The voice that condemned him and promised him love. The lips that kissed him and hissed at him. Caleb was… nervous. Did Lucien still hate him?

Was Lucien still clawing under his skin? The who thing was a pale reflection of Trent Ikithon.

Lucien was a viper personified. He was bright and colorful, but venom dripping from those fangs. Caleb wondered if that would be the last thing he saw; if Lucien’s would be the last voice he heard.

That being said, Caleb missed Molly. He wanted his friend back. He wanted to hear that purr again.

So Caleb Widogast did something stupid and self-damning.

Caleb sat down in his private room, shirtless. His heartbeat was even but loud. Caleb focused on a point in front of him. Caleb placed one of his hands over the eye on his back. It matched the exit wound on Molly’s own back. Caleb wondered if Molly’s back tattoo was ruined, now that the skin healed over the wound. Maybe Orly could do something about that. Caleb hummed and pressed two fingers into the center of the eye.

Caleb took a deep breath and counted the heartbeats. One...Two

Well, this is a surprise.

Fuck. Caleb both stiffened and relaxed into the voice. Lucien’s voice was soft, practically humming next to his ear. Caleb put that thought away for later. Now was not the time for that.

“Lucien, I trust that you are well.”

Even better now that you asked after me.

Caleb scoffed. The charm was laid on thick despite their last shared moment being that Lucien wanted to kill him. That being said, there was more of a layered voice there, like it wasn’t just Lucien talking; even though it was only his voice.

“I wish to…” His voice cracked. The screaming of the crazed city seemed to quiet down. Caleb had no idea what he wanted.

It was terrifying.

Caleb could practically feel Lucien bare his fangs, ready to strike.

You want me. Oh, what would your precious group think if they saw you yearning for the enemy?

That had hurt, but there was something in his voice like the undercurrent was disagreeing with the flow of words. The words themselves reminded him of Trent, the same play on loyalty and Caleb wondered briefly if, in the worst possible scenario, if Trent would have lead the Tomb Takers in the way that he leads the volstruckers.

Caleb shook that thought out of his head. That possibility wasn’t relevant.

“I find that you are the one yearning, not me.”

You brave fool. You could never lie to me.

That voice was different. It was softer, full of affection, contrasting with the destructive lust that Lucien usually spoke with. This was the kind of voice that Caleb truly missed. This was the same voice that spoke as Lucien, but this was different in the way it resonated with Caleb. Oh. ok. That made things very different.

“Well, you’ve told me more than you planned to. I thank you for that. May we see you and finish this.

The dual tones responded in opposite directions. Lucien hissed angrily in infernal, losing the cool that he treasured keeping so much. The soothing undercurrent purred and it soothed the pain in his soul for just a moment, like this was where he was meant to be. Caleb ended the connection. Lucien tried to pull him back, one more eye searing into his skin. It failed. Caleb pulled his head away from a false gaze, no one was looking at him. He no longer felt the anger from Lucien and the affection from the other voice.

----

The other shoe dropped. The rest of the Tomb Takers laid dead and dying. The Mighty Nein stood bloodied and alive. Things were looking up, at least for the group as a whole. Lucien stood in a secluded section of the battlefield, caleb at his feet. The screaming city had been dissolved, the nonagon had no power over caleb, but Caleb was beaten. Lucien smiled.

“You know the worst part is, Your friend is still here. I can feel him. He actually is fond of you. I see the appeal.” Lecien whispered, venom spewing from his tongue. Caleb kept his eyes locked on Lucien. Lucien’s face was cold, angry furious. There were bruises all over his face. The eyes were sad a full of grief.

“You shouldn’t take things that don’t belong to you,” Caleb spoke quietly, more rasp than vocalizations.

Lucien hissed. Caleb grabbed Lucien’s ankle. It was skinnier than what Molly had. Lucien wasn’t taking care of that body. It was a shame. Lucien was standing between Caleb, The Nein, and Molly. That was not going to stand.

There was electricity shooting through the tiefling. Lucien screamed in shock and pain, but Caleb didn’t let go until several moments later.

Lucien fell limp. A second passes. Followed by two more. Caleb could hear the rest of the group catching up to them. Caleb waited until the magic died in the air, then he grabbed the transmutation stone.

-----

The violet tiefling opened his eyes. He seemed to be in a bed with warm sheets and soft pillows. Magic seemed to float in the air. There were smells and sounds coming from rooms over. The tiefling went to sit up, but there was a white mass of fluff and purrs sitting on his chest. The cat was just staring at him.

"Hello, beautiful, what is your name?" The tiefling whispered.

The cat blinked, but the true response came from his mind. There was a beat of silence before a comforting voice whispered in his mind. Oh, that brought ideas into his mind.

“Hello, Mr. Mollymauk,” Caleb whispered, relieved.

What i wish for in future seasons of Bridgerton

No one asked but i want to share what i want to see in future seasons of the Bridgerton series ( inspired by watching too many reviews of the show on youtube). Also very spoilery for the books. Under the cut because i basically made up an entire plot for Eloise in later points that is far too long :)

I am full on lusting and yearning after the kind of psychological dynamic we got in the book once Anthony and Kate married and i am kind of sad we didn't get it in the show. It seems we are missing the entire honeymoon phase. I didn't exactly love either that Kate had no interaction with the Birdgerton's or her own family once they were married for family gatherings to provide levity in the book. At that point Anthony had his separate apartment away from the main house so it was just the two of them most of the time. We were hyperfocused on the two, which kind of makes sense because it was their honeymoon. Now i want an alternative timeline ( which in my opinion is the original timeline) where this needs to happen, maybe in season 3, where we get Kate and Anthony poping up in the sibling stories ( like in the books) but also living their own lives, discovering things in their own marriage, showing them understanding and growing together while expecting their first child.

I really didn't like the love triangle, aka the darkest timeline possible. It was all made icky and kind of gross with Edwina sizing up, lusting after, falling in love and almost MARRYING her future brother in law. They didn't even show Edwina and Anthony interact in any way in the last episode and in my opinion was for the better, because how do you recover from that?! I like the actress that plays Edwina, but i hope she doesn't return for next season if it means we have to rehash anything from the past with her and Anthony. She can stay with the queen and marry the prince in that other show they have in production. I think it was stupid to not give Portia scenes with Violet (or the other mamas) because the one scene they had together in ep 8 was hilarious and they should lean into that more then adding subplots to her subplot that just lead nowhere.

I really kind of want season 3 to have more chaos in the family, partly because i want Anthony and Kate to deal with it but also because i like chaos. I want Benedikt to meet Sophie at the ball and have his epic love story and that to be the main plot ( including the necesary time jumps and the highs and lows of Sophie's life to be a focus because she goes through a lot so it is satisfying to get to the good part after the bad and actually to get to see that). I really don't care for Colin and Pen and i don't want them to be the main plot for a whole season so i hope whatever happens to them is a side plot which involves him discovering she is LW and trying to keep her secret from the ton so we can deal with that bullshit already and not have to think about it. Also i want Francesca to debut and meet and marry her first husband.

Basically, what i am trying to say is that i am a little tired of the ton and i want to spend some time in Sophie's world in season 3. To really see her journey, because she deals with real things out there in the world, she has to provide for herself. I want her’s and Benedic's love story kind of only ocasionally intersecting with the ton, mostly taking place at his estate after the rescue and maybe a bit with the Bridgerton's after she is hired as a servant. Until the final act of course where all the tension builds and she has to deal with her family and Benedict. They can give the high society story to Colin and Pen and whoever wants to follow LW in her adventures can deal with that in the B plot of the season.

In the 4th season i want the focus to be on Francesca and her being a widow and the love that blossoms with Michael. I feel like season 4 could work well as a more mature season and Francesca would be a great dramatic character because she is heartbroken but pragmatic, she is reserved but witty and i like that about her. Her being a widow and still deciding to present in front of the ton again because she is still young and wants kids and a family takes a brave woman to do and I love that this is something she decides for herself. I hope they keep this ( if they show her love story at all lol) and emphasize that this is not something she is pushed to do because that is a woman's role or whatever reason that could be an excuse to take her agency but its her desire. It could be fresh to put the emphasis on her story because we know so little of her so far and very rarely interacts with her brothers. I also want an emphasis on this plot because i want to see Michael jealous.

I have no idea what they could do with Eloise, like i genuinely think she should end up with Theo in the 4th season, just meet him again when she is older and just ravish and marry him to provide some levity to the more serios plot of what is going on with Francesca. Plus it would be a good theme to have Francesca wanting kids and subjecting herself to the marriage market again and Eloise who does not want kids and kind of embraces this life outside of the ton with Theo, a life where she does not have to be idle and i don't know, go to university, travel , get a job lol. The story of Eloise with Lord Crane is theoretically interesting because he is an older man with kids and those stories are cute except it was boring and kind of unhinged in the books , and is it really appealing when you know he is Marina's husband and the kids are also hers? Also her running off to Lord Crane's house because Pen marries Colin and she feels alone when she is not the kind of person to feel dependent on others...i don't know , that book is a mess.

I was never interested in the last 2 siblings books and i don't necessarily like their plots, but if they are thinking of a season 5 i want all the cast to come back and give us snippets of the Bridgerton's siblings life while Gregory and Hyacint have their romance and shenanigans at this family reunion. Breaking and entering for Hyacint and full on stealing a bride for Gregory while Anthony just wants to enjoy his family dinner sounds fun to me. Sorry for all this, i just have a lot of feelings.

The Eras of Lana Del Rey: Lookbook no.9

Hi to anyone reading,

Hope you’re okay! AND that you didn’t end up here because you searched the Lana Del Rey tag so you could see people ranting about her-you’re about to be very disappointed. Sorry. This is not about to be some Question for the Culture discourse because the world is bleak enough right now and the last thing we all need is to be reminded of that saga.

Being a Lana Del Rey fan is easy, they said. She’s not a controversial artist, they said. And yet 2020 had to do what it does best and fuck everything up.

Whether people like her or not, it’s made me so angry reading all the abuse she’s been getting about her appearance for the last couple of weeks, because I really thought that if we could agree on anything it was that attacking individuals for the way they look because you dislike something they’ve done (with the exception of shit like racist tattoos and blackfishing) is, you know, awful and judgemental as fuck? Like you do realise when you treat the word fat as a pejorative that the fat people you don’t have a problem with understood that you meant it as an insult too? I think what all those people tweeting about Lana’s weight, and that includes some of her fans, are forgetting is that she was in her early 20s when she was thrust into the limelight. As much as there’s this conspiracy that her dad bought her a career in the music industry, she’d made the decision to go it alone and had lived in a trailer park as a struggling musician for years. On top of that, we have the unreleased tracks with lyrics seemingly referencing an eating disorder in her younger years. OF COURSE her body is going to look different. Why is it that we treat weight gain as an inherently bad thing without any insight into the other factors that constitute a person’s “health”? It’s fucking insane that so many feel they have the right to comment on other’s bodies in the first place and it breaks my heart that she might be reading these comments. This wasn’t intended to necessarily be a rant about how much I love this woman but all the shit I’ve read about her on the internet these past few months have pushed me to it. You'll respect your queen of alternative music or I shall stan twice as hard on your behalf. You can thank me later when you come to your senses xoxo

I’d love to say it was intentional that I finally finished this post the week Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass was released but that would imply I have my shit way more together than I actually do. If I’m being completely honest, I’ve only heard L.A Who am I to Love You so far 1). because I want to wait for the hard copy for the rest and that doesn’t turn up til September and 2). because I do not have my shit together, lol. That being said, there is no doubt in my mind that I am going to love it-one thing I have always loved about Lana’s lyrics is how well they paint a picture and this is something that poetry only more freely allows for the exploration of. That ability to create such a strong narrative voice and atmosphere is a talent that extends to her visuals and the production of her records too, and is something I really missed when it comes to the Norman Fucking Rockwell era. I’m just going to say it: a strong aesthetic is to NFR as memorable songs are to Lust for Life. Lacking. Am I allowed to say that as a fan? The collaborations don’t do it for me, okay, and as as NFR is concerned, aside from The Greatest/Fuck It I Love You video which went down the whole neon surfer girl route, it’s hard to identify a cohesive theme. It’s understandable that at this point, she would want to just focus purely on the music, and it goes without saying that NFR will stand the test of time in that regard but I don’t think we can deny that when people think of Lana in the future, it’s not gonna be a green windbreaker that comes into their heads.

And here’s where this Filip Kozak illustration comes into it; after years of it sitting in my camera roll for years, it finally has a use. There’s really nothing better to illustrate how mundane life has become this year than the disproportionate level of excitement my photo-hoarding-self experienced realising it would fit perfectly into this post and is thus eligible for deletion. Up there with being able to fit a whole box of biscuits onto the shelf at work rather than having to individually take out as many as I can and then shove them on top of the existing box of biscuits one by one. Truly riveting content on this Tumblr page. Back to the point-by using this as my stimulus for the post rather than the Lana Del Rey albums as outfits tag that went round on Twitter, I can conveniently exclude NFR as an outfit inspiration category, and that saves me from having to buy a charity shop windbreaker with its price bumped up 150% by some upper middle class Depop e-girl or boy who uses the word peng as a descriptor like it’s a nervous tic. To make up for leaving out NFR, I’ve tried to branch out a bit and do the outfits not just based on the music videos or album covers but also from street style and stage looks and photoshoots from around the same period too. It was hard not to be influenced by the general “vibe” and sound of the albums either when I was planning outfits, whether it’s the grand, orchestral instrumentals of Born to Die or the 70s psychedelic rock inspired riffs of Ultraviolence and hopefully that’ll show as well! Enjoy:D

Born to Die (Release Date: 27th January 2012)

It’s been 8 years, and when you ask most people what they think of when they hear the name Lana Del Rey, they’ll probably dismiss her as the one who sings about being sad and doing coke and sleeping with older men. That’s the Born to Die impact. Say what you want but it’s one of only a handful of albums released by a female artist to have spent more than 300 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart and it really established the mythos of “Lana Del Rey” because before all this, before all the think pieces from other women claiming she’d set feminism back hundreds of years with her music, before she ousted grayscale Effy Stonem as the queen of angsty teen Tumblr (which as you can probably guess was a subsection of the internet I was very much engulfed by, lmao), she was just Lizzie Grant, a relatively normal aspiring singer songwriter in her early twenties. But as Lana Del Rey, she was someone else-some beautiful, mystical being that personified the sentiment of being born in the wrong era. Whilst every other singer’s record labels seemed to be trying desperately to thrust them into the future and keep them on top of all the musical and stylistic trends, it was refreshing to hear someone whose music and visuals captured all the most glamorous elements of the past. Part Priscilla Presley/Jackie O reincarnation (the National Anthem video really illustrated how Lana is just as much a storyteller as she is a musician), part high level mobster’s wayward wife à la Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface, she was the good girl by day and the bad girl by night, and I think that’s a duality we can all relate to or would like to think we’re interesting enough to relate to deep down.

Her style from around this period was EVERYTHING. She had those grungy Tumblr girl elements, the camo jacket and the oversized pieces and the leather jackets, but she also heavily drew on the styles and silhouettes of the 50s and 60s with the beehives and the new look Dior inspired cinched waist dresses. Even now in 2020, I think this period is what most people would think if they were asked to describe Lana’s style. I made sure I got the grungy pieces in there with the chunky boots and the vinyl and the oversized leather but the foundation of her looks back then were usually these daintier throwback pieces like the white silk dress and the corset and the mint fur trimmed coat (House of Sunny’s Penny Pistachio coat).

Favourite lyrics from the album? “Now my life is sweet like cinnamon, like a fucking dream I'm living in” from Radio. Nobody asked but I’m gonna give it to you anyway.

Born to Die: The Paradise Edition (Release Date: 9th November 2012)

Lana’s Paradise EP contains probably my absolute favourite song of her’s, Ride, and with that, the beautiful opening monologue that will stay in my mind forever. This era was of course ushered in by Tropico, the short film that included the premiere of the songs Bel Air, Body Electric and Gods and Monsters, which established the ethereal tone of this period-it’s in the name, after all. Both the album and the videos were other-worldly and leaned heavily on religious symbolism which I’m sure pissed off many a middle-aged bible basher at the time. Most prominent in her lyrics were reflections on the freedom of the open road which corresponded with visuals of biker gangs and desert dwellers and modern interpretations of the Wild West, as was an attempt to capture the nature of the so-called “American spirit” which as Lana portrayed it shared more qualities with a kind of celestial, transient being than any kind of solid concept or identity. She played an emotionally detached stripper and a haunted saloon-style-bar singer (almost looking like a runaway bride) and Eve the “first woman” all in the same album and honestly, if that’s not iconic, I don’t know what is. We saw SO many incredible red carpet looks in this period too which built upon this idea of her as the fallen angel tempted by original sin that Tropico established; I feel like this era was all about laying bare the soul of the character she played, this broken, delicate but ultimately liberated being that was so dangerous to the idea of the strong, stable modern feminist ideal. She went about it in COMPLETELY the wrong way in a post that betrayed the ignorance of the privilege she has as a white female performer, but I think this is what she was getting at in it and Ultraviolence only went on to bolster her critics.

In response to the criticism she still receives about the choice to wear a Native American war bonnet in her Ride music video, I’d like to say that it really seems like she’s learnt from that-actions speak louder than words and so though it’s not my place to say whether this makes up for that error, the work she’s done with Native American reparations-focussed foundations since and the money she’s donated to the cause says a lot about her intentions. Again, I want to stress that it’s not my place to say! But it’s a detail that is often overlooked so I thought I’d mention it here.

“I was a singer, not a very popular one. I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet. But upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky, that I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken. But I didn’t really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is.”

Ultraviolence (Release Date: 13th June 2014)

AH, Ultraviolence. My favourite of Lana’s albums and imo, a masterpiece. ONE skip. ONE. Sorry Guns and Roses. I got stoned in my back garden and listened to this (for research purposes ofc, heh) and ended up deciding that this is what I want to listen to when I die (also whilst stoned). It sounds dramatic but listening to this album in that state of mind is such a heavenly experience that I’d be too zen to notice myself slipping away into nothingness on the basis that if I didn’t as long as I could stay in that bubble of awe, nothingness forever wouldn’t be so scary after all. I know, I know, that sentence has big Jaden Smith’s old tweets energy. But if an album is what helps me get over an existential crisis, I beg you allow me the nonsensical ramblings about how I felt like I was ascending into the stars.

Though in terms of the lyrical content the public perception is probably correct, I think the reputation Ultraviolence has as Lana’s darkest, most gothic album (which is something I’ve in incorporated into the outfits I put together) is mistaken; instrumentally and visually it drew more on 70s psychedelic rock and the bohemian counter culture of the period than anything, and her stage looks are a clear reflection of that, and also the outfits I was most excited to channel. It seems counter-intuitive to the moody atmosphere I associate the tracklist with but it’s my go-to summer album; it’s raw (probably her most stripped back work along with NFR, lots of the songs are barely edited) and it’s gloomy but let’s be real, hot as fuck-don’t bother making a sex playlist, just put Ultraviolence on shuffle, and you’re good to go. This was the album where Lana debuted some of her most criticised lyrics and where the notion that she glamourises abuse comes from, one of the points she also seemed to be getting at in the Instagram post, but imo it’s fair to say that she sang truthfully about the initial allure of a dangerous relationship and the nature of the mindset that facilitates staying with somebody poisonous where you do feel like you’re nothing without them. Turning horrific experiences into romantic tragedies is how Lana has always made her music and yeah, out of context there are some fucked up lyrics on the album, but policing how a woman expresses her trauma and complaining that she glorifies weakness because she wrote honestly about the reality of a complicated partnership is hardly any more “feminist” than the lyrics themselves. I can only guess that the reason Lana felt the need to bring up this criticism in 2020 is because these darker themes are going to be revisited in her upcoming album and that in spite of the issues with the way she expressed herself, this time critics will be more accepting of how she chooses to address these themes.

On a lighter note “yeah my boyfriend's pretty cool, but he's not as cool as me” will always be a great line. Simple but effective. If my boyfriend ever is cooler than me it’ll be doing Lana a disservice.

Honeymoon (Release Date: 18th September 2015)

Considering that a lot of other Lana fans are of the opinion that this is her best album, I find it weird that I really don’t remember all that much about this period, other than High by the Beach being released and then hearing Salvatore and Freak for the first time. I guess because she didn’t do a Honeymoon specific tour and didn’t make that many public appearances in this period? It was definitely harder for me to find visual reference points beyond the HbtB music video and the cover art, so I mostly drew on the general vibe of the album, a cinematic accompaniment to a summer in Italy or the South of France, filled with exotic instrumentals and the sense of impending romantic doom that Lana does so well. I suppose if I associate the visuals of this era with anything it’s idyllic florals and warm tones, bygone country club pool days, a rich American’s vacation in Southern Europe, long walks on the beach (and as our Lord and Saviour Jujubee once said, big dicks and fried chicken). Apparently inspired by Lana’s relationship with Francesco Carrozini, it’s a hazy story of some ultra-feminine, submissive archetype becoming unhealthily enchanted by a mysterious “foreign man” who’s ultimately not all that good for her, which as the story goes turned out to be quite prophetic. Going against the grain, it’s my least favourite of her albums after Lust for Life, but in spite of that, I will always remember how obsessed I was with the sax riffs (I think? I don’t know my instruments all that well so forgive me, lol) on Freak and I definitely understand why it’s a firm favourite for so many.

“You could be a bad motherfucker, but that don’t make you a man.” was truly a cultural reset of a line.

-on an unrelated note, OMG, I never realised how I have my mouth open in literally every fucking photo I take, somebody tell me how to pose, please and thank you-

Lust for Life (Release Date: 21 July 2017)

Lust for Life is a controversial one. On the one hand, I appreciate that this album was the victory cry of a happier, more independent, politically-aware Lana in spite of it apparently being a far more optimistic sounding album than the one she wanted to release, but on the other there were way too many collaborations for me and this meant that the album lacked a sense of cohesion and the characteristic narrative thread that usually runs throughout her tracklist. Aside from Love, Cherry, Get Free and Tomorrow Never Came, most of the songs on the album aren’t hugely memorable and it’s a crying shame that a collaboration with STEVIE FUCKING NICKS of all people left so much to be desired. Coming from two witchy icons, I expected something absolutely magical so maybe I was setting myself up for failure, but come on. We could’ve had a real anthem there.

Aesthetically speaking however, this is one of my favourite eras for Lana, which is unsurprising when you consider the tracklist contains references to both Woodstock and Coachella. I’m not gonna lie, I think seeing Coachella fashion in my early teens was my style awakening-I remember seeing Vanessa Hudgens’ outfits and being like, wow, I want to be her (oh, what a fall from grace)-so the late 60s/early 70s flower power groupie style Lana adopted in this period really spoke to me. It was all long hair and dreamy pastels, and this era included some of the most head-to-toe coordinated looks we’ve ever seen from her. Of course I couldn’t completely abandon the grungy touches that I love, that I tend to associate with the early Lana street style days and the Paradise and Ultraviolence music videos rather than with this album, but I’m never gonna pass up an opportunity to whack out a good floral two piece and putting together Lust for Life inspired looks is the perfect excuse to do that.

So, that marks the end of this post! If you made it to the end, thank you so much for reading! I have a Yesstyle lookbook and review to edit but now that I’ve finished that, I’m trying to go down more of a style inspiration focussed route with my lookbooks rather than just putting together outfits from clothes I’ve just bought (though I might still do one every so often to bring in a new season-let’s just ignore the fact that they’re all blending into one bc climate change for now, one catastrophe at a time please universe). I find that if you have a specific idea in mind of what you want, it’s super easy to find something similar on Depop and Ebay and that way you avoid buying new things and also take old things off a person’s hands that might otherwise end up being thrown out by a charity shop and then dumped into a landfill from there. Something I’d LOVE to do before this year is out is put together a lookbook based on the most stylish TV shows of the last decade, but that probably won’t be for a while-even so, if you have any recommendations of series to watch which could fit into this category, let me know!

To finish, I need to go a little bit off-topic so forgive me, but I truly don’t know why this even needs to be said: WEAR A FUCKING MASK. IT IS NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE. IT IS A BASIC HYGIENIC PRACTICE THAT HELPS SPREAD THE STOP OF A HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS DISEASE! RUDIMENTAL SCIENCE! NOT A CHANCE TO PROVE HOW “EDGY” YOU ARE! SERIOUSLY, STOP MAKING A FUCKING PANDEMIC ABOUT YOURSELF! NOBODY ENJOYS WEARING THEM BUT THEY HELP PROTECT OTHERS! SO UNLESS YOU HAVE A VALID MEDICAL REASON NOT TO BE WEARING ONE, DON’T BE A SELFISH PRICK!

Sorry to sign off on a rant-y note with something that has nothing to do with Lana, lol, but all the stupidity has been grinding me gears lately and I had to let it out on behalf of all retail workers: if we can wear a mask for 9 hours at a time, YOU can tolerate the mild discomfort of wearing one for 10 minutes. I know this doesn’t apply to the majority of people but there’s always a couple of arseholes, isn’t there!?

Stay safe,

Lauren x

WITH THE TAIL BETWEEN HER LEGS ep. 1-2: Ladybug

(A RWBY fanfic for big league perverts)

(AND FUTANARI FETISHISTS)

Blake Belladona was rushing in her motorcycle down the street, her punctuality was an important deal to her, and she was not gonna risk it because her boss is a bitch. Her old friends from Beacon were gathering for Yang's B-day in her favorite bar, and she had to be there for her partner's party. The black cat crossed the streets as if they were her own, ignoring the cars in her sides and dodging any traffic lights and officer she could, trying to waste the less time she could to get to the place of the party, and after 20 minutes of races, she stopped at the parking lot of a western themed place.

As she turned off the black sport bike, she got off her famous ass, and walked to the gatekeeper, pulling a yellow card with a flaming heart as it's logo from a little white purse. "Xiao Long invited me" said Blake at the same time she showed the card to the 6'11" monster blocking the access. "Huh?, Oh so you are the one who was missing, kitty?" answered the man after opening the door and crossing her name from that night's guest list. "Thanks Bruno, I'll bring you some cake later" replied the Belladona, as she passed the door and squeezed in the crowd. The cat eared lady was waved from a private table in the second floor, almost isolated from the noise of the dance floor and the counter. Jaune opened the chain to the stairway and thanked Blake for coming: "Thanks Monty you're here! Yang and Nora has been making me drink all this time, and I don't think I could have any more whisky without vomiting" said the blondie at the same time he went up to the stairs.

"Kitty cat!" Yelled Yang, as she hugged both of her friends, "You and I need to empty another bottle of scotch, Arc… And you Bellabooty: You are gonna show me how good you look on the dance floor or I'm gonna get mad for coming late" claimed Yang as she pulled them towards the private lounge tugging from their coats. As the bottles ran empty and the hours passed the group of eight reduced at each of them went drunk or home. First Jaune and Pyrrha, later Weiss, and lastly Ren carrying a heavily drunk Nora. When the clock reached the 2AM. Blake called a Taxi for Yang and Ruby who were almost too drunk to protest against the measure.

As she helped the staff clean the mess of 5 hours of Nora and Yang she passed to the couch were a drunk Ruby was cuddling.

[Turning_Point]

For the cat, The silver eyed girl was a perfect prey: her mini skirt, loosened because the hours of dancing revealed a tight red thong with black details. Her feet, usually covered by stockings and boots were naked now, trying to rest from the painful heels which the redhead never used. Her gentle chest, even if never as big as her sister's was tightly wrapped in a white corset, pushing her breasts up, and making them look seductive for the black cat. Blake unable to restrain herself, kissed the cheek of Ruby, making the drunk but sleep redhead wake up and hug Blake "Blake? Give me a kiss, please?" Asked the naive Ruby tugging from the coat's flaps the black haired woman and making her fall over her. "Jeez, Ruby, you look insatiable" said Blake before coiling her tongue with Ruby's in the bold style of the Belladona: bravely, passionately, and with a string joining the pair's mouths after they finished. Doing so, revealed a tightness inside Blake's shorts, a tightness never supposed to rise with a friend she never thought she would lay her hands off.

Regretting what she did, Blake ran to the bathrooms and shutted herself inside the toilets.

Blake ripped off her bursting white shorts and threw them in the floor, showing a throbbing dick who was demanding for attention. Attention only Blake could give with her right hand while thinking of the pink lips of the redhead: first spitting on the head of his cock, following by gentle strokes with her hand, distributing the spit of hers and Ruby around all the length of the shaft. The head, feeling the movements of her hand, answered the letting with shivers of pleasure in her hips, and releasing also wet fluids from her pussy dripping in her thighs. With every stroke, the girl pant and shivered, slowly raising the speed until she wanked her meat with mad speed, as she edged in the verge of climax, she heard a worrying call from outside her door: *Knock**Knock**Knock* "Blake? Are you ok?" asked Ruby, making the Cat Futanari drip a drop of her white cream over the sink. Without a warning, the redhead, entered the bathroom with fizzing eyes and barefooted, only to watch the throbbing dick of what she thought was her old classmate...

[End of chapter 1]

Before the surprised girl, could scream in fear, Blake kissed her again, with more time, with less love,but for time and technique enough to compensate for the rude act. "It is not what you think Ruby, I was… always like this, it's just that I forgot to behave myself, and your lips were just too much for me to handle and…" tried to apologize the cat eared futa, only to make Ruby interrupt her with another kiss and a gentle stroke around her breasts: "I'm not scared of you, I was only surprised of your… 'size' " said the redhead as she changed her hands from the cat's breasts to her throbbing rod. "I caused this to you?" asked the naive girl towards Blake as she held with both hands the still boiling meat of her. Blake nodded at the same time she bit her fingers, trying to hold her load time enough to either die of embarrassment or calm her male instincts.

"Then, I should take responsibility for my own mess" replied Ruby as she got on her knees, kissed the crown of Blake's dick and started licking the head of it, making circles around the glans as she looked straight to the eyes of her partner's pain filled face. Then she opened her hot mouth and shoved the dick in front of her to the back of her throat, making the knees of the Cat weak, and getting the cock even deeper inside the redhead's mouth.

"Don't worry *hic* Blakey! I will relieve you of this in ten moves or less!" condemned Ruby to Blake as she pulled out her head and slapped her meat in her blushed cheek:

She ran her tongue from the top of Blake's pussy lips to the back of her cock's head.

"Ruby!..

She licked the neglected dick cheese, running the same tongue that tasted her pussy juice inside the corners of her glans and urethra.

...please...

As she returned the scout to her mouth she gently kiss the urethra of the Futanari.

...this is no good...

Opening slowly, she gave the catgirl's dick a small taste, slurping the head of her 8 inches long cock. Ruining the redhead's pink gloss lipstick and smearing it over her shaft as she closed again.

...Oh Gods!...

Repeating the motion, Ruby shoved again the giant thing inside her cheeks, trying to suppress any instincts that said her to bite it, making it go half the way inside until the petite girl gagged the meat rod once more.

...I...hate...yo…

Blake answered the harassment, grabbing the head of her former captain and sticking her boiling meat again against the will of the redhead, smearing the thing inside the mouth as the girl dripped spit and precum from her lips to her chest

...C-cu-Cumming!"

Blake's cock hardened itself inside the mouth of Ruby, opening the flow of hard boiling white fluid inside the throat of the girl, stiffening her legs as Ruby grabbed the Belladona's ass and pulled it towards her face; preventing the retreat of her coward friend as she swallowed anything the cat spitted at her. As the climaxed cat panted in pleasure, Ruby stood up and walked with an arrogant smirk towards the toilet stall. The redhead entered and started stripping her lower half, showing her fit rear as she put her hands in the top of the toilet and opened her legs."Nine moves Blake, you need to make the 10th" challenged Ruby.

Blake loosened up her legs, recovering from the climax she just released, falling to her knees, and drooling on the floor. Her chest beat at 100 MPH, her lust was winning over her common sense, her dick over brain, and of course her own body heat over the clothes. She took off her white coat, pulled her violet scarf and tore her black blouse, leaving only the black torn stockings she had under the white shorts. Only after that, she stood up again and ran towards the horny redhead.

Belladona stood over Rose, kissing her at the same time she untied her white corset, her new erection throbbed against the inner lips of her leader, trying to enter as it pushed forward without any success. Ruby, without breaking her standing doggy style pose, answered Blake's kiss, coiling her tongue with hers and pushing her hips with her own and making her rod slip down instead of sliding inside. When Blake finally took the white thing out of Ruby, she pinched the redhead's nipples, "Brats like you deserve punishment, Ruby" said the catgirl answering the girl's challenge as she broke the kiss, and locked her arms behind her back.

Ruby, without notice felt her little pussy being forced open by the head of the Belladona's cock, swallowing in intoxicating pleasure every inch of the shaft and releasing love juice in gratefulness, as the cat pulled back her cock, charging another ram at the back of her redhead partner's cervix, and slamming her meat against it. For over 15 minutes, Blake repeated the motion until a yellowish liquid started dripping from Ruby's thigh, exposing the pleasured status of her former leader, making her smirk and replying "thank the gods we were here in the bathrooms instead of my bed, I would have spanked your cheeky ass red as your cape, if you had soiled them" taunted the Bellabooty as she stroked the redhead's clit with one hand and carressed her throat with the other.

"That doesn't need to stop you" replied Ruby, at the same time she slammed her butt with Blake's hips, accelerating the rhythm to the pace of each slap, and as promised by the Belladona It wasn't until her ass was red as roses and the pace was enough for the two of them, that the Belladona stopped, hugging the redhead's waist as she poured her cream in the deepest of Ruby's womb. Ruby's legs trembled in extasis, as the white fluid invaded her deepest corners, and fell apart when the meat rod left her hot vagina, making the excess fluid drip into the bathrooms' floor.

Blake left the petite girl panting, almost knocked out by the orgasm, whispering in her ear "I'll go out and get your sister a taxi, wait here and we will continue this at my place, ok?"

HAPPY PLACE 4

So apparently now I’ve found my happy place (Vol 7 Ep 5), I’m never going to leave.

Slow burn, lots of flirting and fluff - adorable Clover, birb Qrow. HEAL ME

(Part One HERE)

Title: Healing

Fair Game – Part Four / 5? More?

Rating: M

---xxx---

Qrow lay in bed in the dark. It was nearly like sleeping.

He thought about the last few days. His missions with Clover. The looks Clover gave him, the reassuring hand that just found his shoulder, lifted his chin, clasped his waist…

He could tell Clover had been trying to take it slow… give him a little time after the kiss.

Hope he didn’t take that ‘intense’ comment too seriously. Why do I have to have such a smart mouth!? Qrow grinned in the dark. Ok, not going to regret being a smart ass. There has to be a line, right?

His mouth kept him safe. It kept people at a distance. No one really knew when he was serious so he could say what he was really thinking and they’d shrug it off. It was just another weapon in his personal arsenal – another way to keep people he cared about as far away as possible.

Two weeks.

There was no way Clover would survive. In the two days since that amazing kiss he’d been nearly buried in rubble twice, thrown off a building, caught in a grim stampede and nearly hit by lightning. Actual lightning.

Qrow turned over and buried his face in his pillow again. All he could think about was the feeling of Clover’s lips. The firm kiss still lingered, he could almost feel those calloused fingers stroke down his face and lift his chin…

Still sexually frustrated.

Would sleeping with him make it worse? If he follows me around like a love sick puppy (Qrow smiled a little too hard in the dark) then won’t he be doomed anyway? Would giving the both of them a tiny hint of relief really be such a bad thing?

I could certainly use some damn sleep, he thought, pressing his hard-on into the sheets and sighing.

In a fit of frustration he leapt off the bed, throwing the covers everywhere. That’s it. I’m getting up. This is bullshit.

He looked over at the clock. It was four-thirty. Must have drifted off for a little at least…

Only four hours until the briefing. Only four hours until I see him again.

It felt like a long time.

Qrow flicked a light switch and scowled into the bright light. He threw on some shoes and left his room. He wore sweats and a t-shirt to bed so he didn’t even have to get dressed. Just walk. Find a rhythm in your steps. Walk and keep walking.

It was a good way to keep the demons at bay. He just let the rhythm of his body take him. He went around the corridors, sometimes hearing a faint snoring from someone’s quarters. It was weirdly comforting after everything that had happened, the sound of other people, relaxed… fast asleep.

He found himself in the mess hall before long, empty metal tables gleaming in the moonlight which streamed through the window.

He turned his heels to go and a voice floated out of the darkness, “Can’t sleep?”

Clover.

Qrow hesitated on the threshold. He considered just walking away. Probably better to get as far away from the guy as possible before he spontaneously combusts…

But he didn’t. He just stood there. Clover walked out of a shadow beside the window, he approached slowly and sat on a table a few metres away.

Still giving me space. Why does he have to be so damn considerate?

“Didn’t think you were the skulking in the shadows type,” Qrow drawled, trying to make light of the situation. His chest felt like it was going to implode as the light hit Clover’s face just so…

“I have a dark streak,” Clover smiled.

“Oh yeah?” Qrow felt a smile tugging at his lips. Clover. Dark. What a heap.

“Yeah. I like horror movies and I dress up every year for Halloween,” he nodded like this was absolutely conclusive.

Qrow shook his head, “I can’t even tell if you’re serious.”

Clover opened his mouth in mock-offense, “I’m always serious! I’m super, super serious!”

Qrow just laughed. How can this guy make me feel so relaxed!? It’s five am!

But as soon as his heart began to lift he felt it all come crashing down. Clover’s face was so open, so welcoming, so GODDAMNED HAPPY.

I can’t do this to him. I can’t inflict this… me… on him. On his life.

“Well, enjoy the darkness then I guess…” he said, as he turned away.

He could hear Clover stand up behind him, “Qrow… wait…”

He hesitated, one foot over the threshold.

This is selfish. This is selfish. Don’t punish him for being so good.

He felt the hand on his shoulder.

Don’t do it to him, Qrow. You’re enough of an asshole already.

“Watch it,” he said, “I’m pretty sure if you touch me for long enough the whole of Atlas will fall out of the sky.”

“Hasn’t happened yet,” Clover’s voice was soft behind him.

“Yeah right,” Qrow turned, guilt and self-loathing making him surly, “you’ve survived two days of being near me. Lucky, lucky you. Hopefully next time there’s a storm you don’t stand a foot to the left, hey? Hopefully next time there’s some grim on the loose, you don’t lose your footing at the top of a high building, hey!? And we can only damn PRAY that ne..”

“Stop it!” Clover’s eyes burned with an intensity Qrow hadn’t seen before.

They both were startled into silence.

Finally, Clover let his hand drop from Qrow’s shoulder. “I’m not going anywhere,” he said.

Qrow looked at him and felt a flicker in his chest. Something more than sexual frustration, more than lust.

Oh no… I can’t do this.

Qrow pushed the feeling deep into his stomach. That’s it. I’m done.

He turned and Clover’s hand grabbed his elbow. Qrow looked down, a full on war raging in his chest. Don’t you want to live you cocky idiot!?

“You don’t get it! What do I have to do to get rid of you!?” his voice was raised but in his heart, he just felt empty.

Clover smiled down at him, his eyes bright and his cheeks kissed with the first hint of a blush. He didn’t let go.

“If you stop shouting, that might help.”

What do I do…!? Do I tear my arm away? Kiss him? Fall on his perfect muscled chest and just fucking cry!?

From somewhere inside his smart mouth came to his rescue, “You like me shouting?” it said.

Clover looked at him with those perfect turquoise eyes, “Yes. I really like you shouting.”

Qrow smiled in spite of himself, “You’re a weird guy.”

Clover finally let go of his elbow but his eyes still searched Qrow’s face with worrying intensity, “It’s been said.” He gave a wry smile in return.

Qrow hesitated, it would be so easy to just lean forwards… just put his head on Clover’s chest and let him kiss all the pain away. “Persistent fucker, aren’t you?” he said.

“Yeah…” Clover shook his head, looking suddenly embarrassed, “I know I come on a bit strong… I’m sorry. I want you to know that I’m here for you in… all the ways but I don’t actually want to hound you to the ends of the earth… so… if you don’t want to take it any further… you can just let me know. I’m a professional. I won’t make it a big deal.”

Clover looked at the ground like it was the most interesting thing he’d ever seen. Yes, here is my heart, please, step on it.

“Further?” Qrow squeaked, regretting it instantly.

“Yes,” Clover told the floor.

“Like…?” Qrow said. No, stop this! I’m leaving, remember!?

Clover looked up, his eyes twinkling, “Like when a man and a man like each other very mu..”

Qrow spluttered, trying to cough and laugh at the same time, “Ok. Yes. Thanks. I am a little bit old for the birds and the bees if you don’t mind.”

They looked at each other for a minute, Qrow memorising this moment. Memorising his face. It never did to let these moments pass when joy was fleeting and always, always gone too soon.

Finally, he spoke, “And what’s with all the sass recently? I thought that was my schtick.”

Clover grinned, sheepish, “I thought you might like it. You seem to get sick of the tin soldier trope.”

“I… do like it,” Qrow breathed, leaning in almost imperceptibly. He could feel the warmth of Clover’s chest. Feel where his hand had rested on his shoulder… all the delicious thoughts that had swirled around in his mind for hours just came pouring out… he looked into Clover’s eyes.

Now or never, asshole.

“What about you?” Qrow asked, his voice breathy, barely a whisper.

“What about me?” Clover asked, his eyes fixed on Qrow’s lips.

“Are you the dinner and a movie type?” Qrow asked. He stopped breathing.

“You paying?” Clover sassed.

“Just stop ok. It’s weirding me out.”

Clover laughed, “I don’t know, I’m starting to like it.”

“Ok, I’ll pay! You really know how to make a guy feel special, you know that?” Qrow scowled, faking mad.

Clover looked at his dark, brooding face with a look that bordered on catatonic.

“You are so hopeless,” Qrow laughed.

“Only with you,” Clover breathed.

Fuck it.

Qrow lifted his hands around Clover’s neck and pulled him into a kiss. He felt those rough hands close around his waist and pull them together. After that there was just lips, then strong arms picking him up and carrying him down the corridor.

“Put me down!”

“No,” Clover said as he marched back to his quarters with his prize.

Oh well, I tried, Qrow thought as he melted into the warm chest and tried not to think about what he was going to do to the arrogant asshole as soon as the door had closed.

---xxx---

“So…” Yang asked, keeping it casual, “Where are you going?”

“Dinner. It’s dinner time. I’m going to dinner,” Qrow said, not meeting her eyes.

“With… Clover?”

Qrow turned sharply, glowering into her cool violet gaze, “Yes. He bet me that my misfortune couldn’t ruin everything if he was around.”

“And the best way to test that is dinner?”

“Yesssss.”

“And that’s why you spent 2 hours getting ready…”

“Haven’t you got someone else to annoy?” Qrow asked, hoping his hair was still ok.

“Not really…” she grinned. “OK WELL I have to go,” Qrow said, scuttling out of that hell hole as fast as he could move.

---xxx---

Clover sat at the table, gazing out into the cold winter sky. Qrow was late but only a little. And for the first time, Clover wasn’t worried. Last night was… OH GODS IT WAS AMAZING HOW DO YOU EVEN MOVE YOUR BODY LIKE THAT UGH…

Yeah ok. It was good, he laughed at himself nervously and covered his hard-on with a serviette. What a man.

The window was open just a crack to balance the heat from the blazing fire. As Clover gazed out across the swirling snowflakes, thinking about ass, a little black bird hopped through the window and onto the table.

“Awww look at you,” Clover said softly, “Hey there little guy…” he laughed as he realised what type of bird it was. “Oh no! I think we’ve got our wires crossed; I’ve just fallen in love with a totally different crow! And if he sees us like this, who knows what might happen,” he smiled and broke a bread roll in half, putting half on the table in front of the little bird, “but here… aww I can’t be mad at you. Maybe we can have a little thing on the side… my Qrow can be a bit snarky and you are just SO CUTE!”

The little bird hopped onto the other seat and looked at him, head slightly tilted and little red eyes glittering.

In an instant Clover was looking into a completely different pair of glittering red eyes as the blush to end all blushes surged onto his face.

“I’m not cute,” Qrow said pointedly, “but thanks for the roll.”

Clover blinked. The blush deepened, “SO CUTE,” he squeaked.

“Oh my god, stop it now,” Qrow grinned.

After a little time, Clover regained the power of speech, “Well, I see that my humiliation is finally complete.”

“It has been for quite a while, I’m afraid.”

“Why must I fall for gorgeous, mouthy bad boys!? I’m a smooth guy!”

“I don’t know,” Qrow shrugged, just enjoying the moment.

“Well…. Uh…” Clover buried his head in the menu.

Qrow mulled over what he’d just heard. I mean, it wasn’t a heart to heart… Clover was just dribbling crap at what he thought was a cute bird. It didn’t mean anything.

…I’ve just fallen in love with a totally different crow…

His heart surged in his chest as he looked across the table at this, sexy confident guy… his ears were still bright pink.

He’s fucking adorable.

This is not ok.

As he stared, Clover’s eyes flicked up. He grinned like a total idiot then looked away.

UGH, Qrow’s whole body groaned.

DOOMED.

Album Review: ‘Petals For Armor’ - Hayley Williams

You’ve probably heard Hayley Williams’ debut album by now…

Originally split into three parts, the Paramore frontwoman aimed to ‘include people on the journey in the same way that I experienced it.’ But with each EP delivered in such quick succession, it killed some of the hype for Petals For Armor. At least for me, it did. Either release it as separate EPs or as a whole album. Otherwise, it just feels redundant.

When criticised for this approach, Williams called out the ‘men of Twitter that just hate the way that I��m putting out my album’ and wondered ‘How have you released YOUR albums?’ Which is rather unfair considering some female fans also felt that so many singles at once was unnecessary, myself included. That and it’s a little arrogant to suggest that just because I haven’t released an album of my own, I don’t get to have an opinion. How many times do I have to say it already: ‘You don’t get to dictate how others respond to your work. That’s the risk you take releasing it to the public.’

That’s not to say Petals For Armor isn’t good. In fact, it’s downright compelling, the singer providing a rather brutal examination of her past while imagining femininity ‘in different ways than people are used to seeing – it is primal and ferocious and gross and beautiful.’

First single ‘Simmer’ attempts to draw a line between ‘wrath and mercy’ amidst a fidgety, Radiohead-meets-Fiona Apple-meets-HAIM bass thrum; where rage begins as a ‘quiet thing’ but grows into something raw and visceral as Williams projects her maternal instinct onto her younger self (‘And if my child needed protection/From a fucker like that man/I'd sooner gut him/'Cause nothing cuts like a mother’).

‘Sudden Desire’ sees lustful urges explode in a haze of fuzzy bass and galloping snares, along with the post-coital angst (‘Don't know if I can deny/A sudden desire/Your fingerprints on my skin/A painful reminder’). ‘Leave It Alone’ is a mellow, bass-flecked ballad that has the singer coming to terms with grief in all its forms, written after her grandmother suffered serious head trauma in a fall. ‘Dead Horse’ confronts old shame with a deceptive, West-African-inspired pop lilt, Williams admitting to having an affair with her former husband, New Found Glory’s Chad Gilbert, who was married to Eisley’s Sherri DuPree-Bemis at the time.

‘Pure Love’ is carefree 80s pop that more than snatches Carly Rae’s wig, complete with power ballad high notes. The New Wave punk of ‘Over Yet’ finds ‘it’s the right time/to come alive,’ while ‘Sugar On The Rim’ celebrates rave culture with 90s techno club decadence; rediscovering love under neon lights.

‘Crystal Clear’ is a semi-duet with Williams’ grandfather awash in skipping beats and other atmospherics to reflect the singer’s newfound romance (allegedly with longtime friend and Paramore bandmate Taylor York, who also helped produce the record). On ‘Creepin,’ Williams confronts a ‘poor little vampire baby’ that sucks the life out of her atop a sluggish yet menacing bass crawl. ‘Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris,’ though, is a force of divine feminine energy, with Williams backed by the haunting harmonies of female supergroup boygenius (Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker) as she proclaims: ‘I myself was a wilted woman/Drowsy in a dark room/Forgot my roots/Now watch me bloom’).

Standout track ‘Cinnamon’ also revels in femininity, this time in the context of domestic bliss (‘Eat my breakfast in the nude/Lemon water, living room/Home is where I'm feminine/Smells like citrus and cinnamon’). Twitchy, syncopated beats find themselves entangled in a knotty bassline, all frayed around the edges. The result is a feverish blend of 90s indie, sultry RnB and folk pop, indebted to a host of other female artists who exude strength, individuality and fearlessness, including Kate Bush, Janet Jackson, St Vincent, Tune-Yards and the aforementioned Apple. And there’s no better way for Williams to pay tribute than on her solo debut, where womanhood sits front and centre.

Petals For Armor doesn’t reach any comfortable conclusions. There’s no neat bow tied around it nor is there any sudden epiphanies. Rather, it’s an ongoing journey, mostly imperfect and at other times heartbreaking. It’s a natural progression from Paramore’s 2017 album After Laughter, the sparky, colourful yin to Petals For Armor’s dark, turbulent yang.

Something that’s always bothered me is how some people try to curb your anger, that you must always choose forgiveness, to be diplomatic, to always give the benefit of the doubt. That it’s somehow a sign of maturity to stuff your feelings down.

Here, Williams completely obliterates that concept. Rage is now a beautiful, restless creature. It’s something to savour, to embrace, something to revel in. Dating all the way back to ‘Misery Business,’ the singer always been a fine purveyor of rage.

Bold, lush instrumentals also help to strengthen it, thick with the kind of basslines you can bounce a 20¢ piece off thanks to the nimble fingers of Joey Howard; the synthwork tight yet playful; the beat forever steady. Nature motifs prove incredibly vivid, but, much like life, take on a certain ugliness. Some tracks can feel repetitive here and there, especially in the record’s second half, but overall it’s a pretty consistent effort.

A cathartic slow burn, Petals For Armor is Hayley Williams (almost) born anew. Now watch her while she blooms…

End of Year Wrap-Up 24/12/2018

Happy Merry to all you readers!

I’ve had a great year but all us music fans have had an even better one! Streaming services mean that now more than ever we can experience the musical output from all corners of the globe (though overwhelmingly the English-speaking parts of it) to understand different points of view, learn of the goings on in other parts of the world and most importantly indulge ourselves in a bit of a boogie. All the moods, genres and feels you could think of are out there, so over the holiday period perhaps try and listen to something new. Who knows it might break the tension with that younger/older relative round the xmas table when you find they also happen to like k-pop/jazz-funk/grindcore or at the very least you can bicker about the tragedy of the current album charts (Greatest Showman: 21 weeks!). To aid you in your quest for knowledge/excitement/small-talk I have spent almost 30 minutes curating a best-of for both albums and singles in the year of 2018.

(NB even with my album-a-day policy, there’s no way I can get through everything I want to within the 365, so if your fave appears ignored, let it be known that I probably haven’t heard it yet. The full list of everything I’ve listened to this year is at the bottom)
